The Boise State men’s basketball team will play for the Mountain West Tournament championship. The fifth-seeded Broncos earned a spot in the title game by taking down top-seeded New Mexico, 72-69, Friday night at Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.

Mt. Spokane graduate Tyson Degenhart is one step closer to the NCAA Tournament, crossing an impressive milestone in the process.

If you told me during November of my freshman year that I was going to end up being the all-time leading scorer, I’d tell you you’re crazy.”

Tyson Degenhart scored 22 points to lead the fifth-seeded Boise State Broncos and Andrew Meadow secured the victory with a 3-pointer with 46 seconds left as the Broncos knocked off the No. 1 seeded New Mexico Lobos 72-69 in the Mountain West

Degenhart has been a stalwart for Rice’s teams as they’ve made three straight NCAA Tournaments. The two-time All-Mountain West pick is the team’s leading scorer (17.8) and rebounder (6.1), and was named to the 10-man midseason shortlist for the 2025 Karl Malone Power Forward of the Year award.
